Peercoin Weekly Newsletter - Issue 4
November 20th
IntroductionAs Sunny King continues to develop the new Peercoin client, the community starts shifting their focus toward mainstream media coverage, Peercoin comparisons for 'Joe User' and upcoming Bitcoin Conferences.
Peercoin Mainstream CoverageIn the last newsletter, we talked about breaking out into more mainstream news. While this certainly doesn't happen overnight, it's nice to see we're starting to make some headway.

If you would like to help support the initiative, please let us know. The volunpeers are working hard to make sure we have a set of measurable goals during each conference.
Chinese ExchangesWe want to thank Nox-, Jimmy and Redlee for leading our Chinese Exchanges initiative. We look forward to having conversations with these operators and assist them with anything they need from the Peercoin community.
Jordan's PeershareHere's a little info from Jordan Lee's Peershare project:
"The shutdown of BTC Trading Corp and Litecoin Global has caused me to consider if there is a way for businesses to manage publicly held shares in a decentralized fashion. I realized it is possible to leverage Peercoin and proof of stake to accomplish this in an elegant and resilient way using a design I will call Peershare. I'd like to present my preliminary design and have my plan criticized and improved by the community."

SummaryOn behalf of the hard working Peercoin community, we want to thank you for taking interest in Peercoin (PPC). There are so many different projects underway, there's no way we could even cover 1/10th of them in this newsletter. If you're interested in being apart of the community, hop over to Peercointalk.org and find something that grabs your attention. We are a friendly community of crypto enthusiasts that are here to help.
